Arranged (On Hold)

A5: "Thanks Liam"

"Thanks Liam"

"Guys! Dinner will be ready in 20! And for Adam and Bella, we need to speak to you guys about something" mom said coming into the family room.

'Alright's and 'Okay's were replied to her. I just sit there between Chris and James while they play some soccer video game. Since mom mention Adam and I only, I'm guessing mom and dad wants to talk about the 'Marriage'.

Turns out Chris and Sara are staying here all summer long instead of two weeks. So since they're staying here way longer than they even thought, so I have to go shopping with Mom, Sara and Mat for some extra necessities until they went back to San Francisco -where they live- to get more of their stuff.

I got up and walk past Chris and James then jog upstairs to get a quick shower and change into something much more comfortable since these jeans are uncomfortable as sitting on school chair.

I walk into my room, just when I walk in my sight went to Liam who leaning on my desk chair looking bluntly on my computer.

"What are you doing?" I ask leaning to see my computer screen to check if he hijack it.

"Nothing, trying to figure out what your password is" he said not even bothering to look up.

Since I'm not in the mood to face him, I ignore him then make my way towards my closet. I open my closet then took out a comfortable outfit before heading towards my bathroom.

I took a quick shower without washing my hair cause I don't think it needs to be wash twice a day.

I put on my undergarments and then put on my outfit. Which is just a spaghetti strap tank top, blue 'Cookie Monster' sweater, sweats and a pair of socks.

I put my hair up in a bun an put on my glasses before walking downstairs towards the dinning room to see the whole family plus Liam sitting on either side of the 8 seated dinning table.

The only seat left was across from Sara and next to Liam. Obviously they had put me next to Liam judging by James' apologetic face.

I sigh and sit next to Liam and start eating like everyone else. Do you ever get that feeling when you feel unconscious and insecure cause somebody is just watching your every move?

No?

Then you don't know how I feel about the stare that goes through the side of my head. Liam has been have this sly smirk since I've seated. I awkwardly put my fork of grilled chicken down and look at him.

"Stop staring!" I half-yell giving him a glare "I'm not! I'm just thinking of how many calories are there in that chicken? Huh? Probably a lot! Be careful it'll go straight to your thighs" he whispered.

I look down at the chicken on my plate and frown. Am I that fat? I mean last time I check I was just 125 lbs. that's pretty normal for a 23 year old woman.

I push my plate away not in the mood to it thanks to Liam. Thanks Liam, you really help me.

"So, we want to talk to you about something. But it doesn't involves any wedding stuff" mom said, did she already have the 'wedding' stuff in her mind? Like, ew!

"Well, we think that since you two have a history together, we have to figure out someways to get you two get along" dad said holding my hand, he look at me and giving me a warm smile.

Silence

Silence....

Silence.... Sigh

"John, Martha and both of us decided to buy you guys your own house not far from here, probably just a 15 to 20 minutes drive. You'll be moving there two days from now which is at Thursday." Mum said as dad held my hand tighter.

Liam and I look shock not able to say a word. "Well then, we'll let you guys be" mom said tugging dad's arm. They left the dinning room not making a single noise other than open and closing the door.

I got up and try to walk my shocking self upstairs. "Belle....?" I heard a whisper behind me, I turn around and look at Liam. "Yes?" I ask.

"Nevermind" he shook his head, I nodded and continue to go upstairs. I enter my bedroom and instantly drop myself onto my bed.

I took off my glasses and fast fell asleep.

Liam

I walk into Bella's bedroom. I saw her fast asleep on the right side of the bed.

I walk over to her side and kneel down in front of her. Observing her features.

Her hair, her beautiful waterfall brown hair. Her little dimples that shows even when she's sleeping. I remember in high school when she used to have nerdy glasses -that I secretly think it was cute on her-, she used to have colorful braces and very curly bouncy hair. She also always use her old pair of black sneakers with her grandma's navy blue hoodie.

She's gotten taller and slimmer. She changed. And I like that. But something about her makes my high school jerk attitude came back to me.

I used to bully her because one simple stupid -probably the dumbest reason ever- reason. I had a childhood crush on her....but it was so embarrassing that my friends taunted me about it.
